About Us
Relentless Returns is an SEC-registered investment management firm revolutionizing access to institutional-grade investment strategies through cutting-edge data and technology.
We combine proprietary algorithms, big data, and human expertise to deliver strategies designed to outperform market benchmarks — and we’re making them accessible to everyone, not just hedge funds or the ultra-wealthy.
Our product experience needs to be clean, scalable, and trustworthy — and that starts with great design systems.
About the Role
We’re seeking a UX/UI Design Systems Intern to help us build out our component library in Figma from the ground up.
This is an ideal role for someone who loves structure, consistency, naming conventions, spacing, tokens, and obsessing over details that 95% of users never notice — but the best ones always feel.
You’ll work directly with our product and design leads to build the visual foundation for our platform, from buttons and inputs to color, type, layout, and spacing systems.
What You’ll Work On
- Build, test, and document reusable Figma components (buttons, modals, cards, navs, etc.)
- Organize files using atomic or nested component structure
- Help define and maintain design tokens (color, typography, spacing, radius, etc.)
- Create interactive variants, responsive constraints, and prototyping-ready libraries
- Collaborate with designers and engineers to ensure consistency across web and mobile
- Document naming conventions, usage guidelines, and best practices
What You’ll Need
- Proficiency in Figma — especially components, variants, and prototyping
- Strong eye for visual hierarchy, consistency, and pixel-level detail
- Comfortable with layout systems (auto layout, constraints, spacing grids)
- Curiosity about how systems scale across platforms
- Willingness to iterate, organize, clean up, and document
Relevant Areas of Study
- UX / UI Design
- Interaction Design
- Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
- Graphic Design (Digital Focus)
- Visual Communication Design
- Product Design
Bonus Points
- Experience contributing to or creating design systems from scratch
- Familiarity with component-driven front-end frameworks (React, Webflow, etc.)
- Interest in fintech, regulatory design, or designing for trust
- Understanding of accessibility in interface design
What You’ll Gain
- Real-world experience building design systems for a live financial product
- Mentorship from product designers and cross-functional teams
- Portfolio-ready deliverables (before-and-after systems, usage docs, token maps)
- A deep understanding of how design and engineering align at scale
